Off the pitch, one of the main battlegrounds for soccer games is in their breadth and depth of modes.
Different teams and players also don't feel distinct enough, and lower league players feel disproportionately poor compared to world stars.įIFA 18 is on the up, but PES 2018 remains the king on the pitch. Dribbling-despite the improvements-still feels clunky and passing feels limp and unresponsive compared to PES. Like FIFA 17 though, it still has problems. Crucially, it's much easier to score from crosses and long shots now, leading to some wonderful goals. Crosses are the most improved aspect of FIFA 18's gameplay, now whipping into the box with plenty of pace-and two new modifiers allow you to either loop crosses higher or drill them along the ground when necessary. Goalkeepers are still weirdly awkward and defending can be fiddly, but overall we think PES 2018 is the most satisfying football game ever made.įIFA has definitely improved since last year, with more satisfying shooting and slightly more responsive dribbling. Passing feels slick, dribbling responsive, and shots gratifying. Everyone has their own opinion on which feels better to play, though our PES 2018 review awarded the game an 8/10 primarily for how fluid it feels when you get into a match. When it comes to how FIFA and PES perform on the pitch, it's a little more tricky.
It's safe to say FIFA 18 wins this round. Menus have not changed in years, crowds still sound lackluster, and I'm still stuck playing as Man Red rather than Manchester United. Character models continue to improve (especially in the lower leagues, where some player faces are surprisingly accurate), but as a whole PES looks flat compared to FIFA's flashy exterior. In contrast, PES struggles to compete on the aesthetic front. By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's
